Hey guys, i want to upgrade my computer so it runs abit faster than it does at the moment

current spec is a 64 3500
DFI Ultra-D
and 1gb Corsair Twin-X stuff (flashy LED's and Black Heat spreaders)

I was thinking about a new CPU mainly, as my 3500 only OC's to 2.4 stable, which is no quantum leap anywhere...

so any help is appreciated...im open to anything really, and i have no idea on budget....but as cheap as possible.
 
its a 460w akasa thing with a blue led fan lol

but i dont think its that, as i can up the volts to no end on the CPU and it wont pass any test you slap at it, but i dont know

selling stuff is not an option, as it will be going in another computer in the house..so i just want something that has more kick than the one im using at the moment, im an avid gamer, so any increase in performance is welcome.


what about a conroe rig? just a case of CPU/Mobo/Ram aint it? as all my other stuff will run with it.

only reason i didnt put a budget and suggested cost was a factor, is to see what can be done which doesnt seem a lot these days, and conroe rigs seem to be the way forward, which is why i put that in after reading a few posts about the conroe rigs.....these are expensive, and i actually thought they were slower than my 2.4ghz, but then i realised dual core versus my 1 core...so it makes sense for gaming i guess.

plus i havent been keeping uptodate with tech since last year, so im well out of the loop.
